ABOUT THE EXHIBITION

The title of the exhibition refers to the surrealist technique utilized to craft a collective collage of words or images. This game of sorts is played by several people, each of whom would write/draw a phrase/image on a sheet of paper, fold the paper to conceal part of it, and pass it on to the next player for their contribution. The end result is a sequence of loosely connected words/images, a surprising mishmash of individual visions forming a composition verging on the bizarre.

The idea was to take this technique and employ it in the context of contemporary illustration. The curators invited 13 artist to make their contributions to a project that would be some kind of cross-fertilization in design, a collective train of graphic thought, one big international illustration orgy.

It took over three months before we got all the individual works in one place and were able to put final touches to the 13-meter long, 2-meter high wall graphic.
